Homework Statement



The electric fields created by a point charge, a conducting sphere and insulator sphere are identical, if they all have the same amount of charge and the field is measured outside the spheres.



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I think its false...but how can you explain it

What is the field (magnitude and direction) at a point, at a distance r from the centre, outside a uniformly charged hollow shell of infinitesimal thickness, if the total charge is q?
